FAQs
What is Inverter Technology?
Inverter Technology delivers a continuous stream of power at lower settings, ensuring food is cooked evenly and nutrients are better preserved, unlike traditional microwaves that cycle power on and off.
Can I use metal in this microwave?
Generally, metal cookware and foil should not be used in microwave modes as they can cause arcing. However, some combination cooking modes might allow specific types of metal; always refer to your user manual for guidance.
How do I clean the Air Fryer basket?
The air fryer basket can be cleaned with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Some models may have dishwasher-safe components, so check your specific user manual.
How much energy does this microwave save?
The product claims to save up to 50% in energy compared to traditional ovens, particularly when using combination cooking functions which often eliminate the need for preheating.
What is the capacity of the microwave?
The microwave has a 27-liter capacity.
Can I bake a cake in this appliance?
Yes, this appliance features a convection oven function, allowing you to bake cakes, pastries, and other baked goods.
Does this model require preheating?
Combination cooking modes often do not require preheating, significantly reducing overall cooking time. The convection oven mode may require preheating for optimal baking results, as with traditional ovens.
Troubleshooting
Microwave not turning on
Ensure the appliance is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
Uneven cooking results
Verify that the food is centered on the turntable. Ensure the turntable is rotating freely. For combination cooking, check that the correct functions and timings are selected.
Air fryer not crisping food adequately
Ensure the air fryer basket is not overloaded. Check that the top fan is clear of obstructions. Preheat the air fryer function if recommended for the specific food item.
Control panel is unresponsive
Try unplugging the microwave for one minute, then plug it back in to reset the electronics. Ensure the control panel is clean and dry.
Excessive steam or smoke during operation
Clean the interior of the microwave, especially the cavity and any food debris. Ensure the food being cooked is not excessively fatty, which can cause smoke.
